    Are they still due for a July restock? I was too ambitious last time and sized wrong ::).

      I’ve been wearing them fairly consistently since getting them in mid June. Nothing too fancy to photograph yet!

        Looks about right for 21oz. Stick with them though. 21oz fades give me the warm fuzzies.

            Sizing is consistent with the previous production run….

                    Well its been 6 months or so since I started on these 555-01's and I could not be happier with the construction, fit or quality of this mighty denim. They are indeed stubborn, and I am not in a position to wear all day every day but they are starting to yield some of the evolution secrets!

                    In my normal style….. here's a video!

                      Thanks DevonReviewer.

                      It was your youtube channel that introduced me to selvedge denim, first with a pair of Levi 511's and recently with a step up to the mighty 777S-21. Just like you I'm loving the Iron Heart brand and particularly this forum which is always friendly and positive.

                      Haven't had chance to watch the update on the 555-01 yet but I've been waiting for you to upload the 6 month update and will definitely catch it this weekend.

                        That is amazing, thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy the denim journey as much as I do, putting on great denim brings a little joy to each day!

                        I hope you enjoy the 777, I really want some "fade to grey" with all black stitching, and the IHxVS777S-21 were on my list… cant find a 32... so pitching for the 555-03 at some point.

                        All the best

                          Decided my pair needed to freshen up. Quick evo shots after the first soak. About 3 months of almost daily wear in the Arizona heat.

                                I'm going nuts trying to figure out which cut I should get for my first pair in 21 oz. I'm torn between this 555 or the 301S from Self Edge. Does anyone have an opinion? I think I'd wear a 38 in both. I'd appreciate any insight.

                                  They’re very different cuts. 555 has a high rise and a fitted top block. 301 is a low/mid rise and has a lot more room in the top block and thigh.

                                  It depends on what’s best for your body  type. Best course of action is to compare the measurements to a pair you like, and go from there.

                                    Funnily enough these were my first two pairs of IH. I picked up the IH-301S from SENY and six months later the IH-555-01 from IHUK.

                                    @sabergirl is right, they will fit you quite differently and how they look will depend very much on your body type. Both pairs are slim but the 555’s are slightly slimmer. The taper begins earlier below the hip giving a narrower knee. If you have meaty thighs these may not be for you. The 301’s have a much lower rise than the 555. On some body types, this, combined with a relaxed top block can mean either “diaper butt” or bum cleavage showing. Not great looks.

                                    I’d like to suggest the 888 cut if either the slim thighs of the 555 or the low rise of the 301 might be a problem. For safety’s sake I’ll also mention the stretching in the 21oz. It will easily stretch out an inch in the waist, possibly two inches. This is what happened to my 301S. They fit nicely when I bought them in store in NYC, but by the time I got back to Norway a week later they were falling off me.

                                      Thanks @neph93 and @sabergirl for the replies. I'm tall (6'5") and lanky with a long torso and not much of a butt. I usually wear slim cut mid rise jeans. I'm trying to compare the two cuts to a pair of Railcar jeans that I have and a pair from a company called Red Clouds Collective. The measurements I have taken "The Iron Heart Way" are as follows:

                                      The first pair:
                                      Waist: 41 in
                                      Front Rise: 10.5 in
                                      Back Rise: 16.5 in
                                      Thigh: 14 in
                                      Knee: 9 in
                                      Hem: 8 in

                                      The second pair:
                                      Waist: 40 in
                                      Front Rise: 11.25 in
                                      Back Rise: 15.5
                                      Thigh: 13.75 in
                                      Knee: 9.5 in
                                      Hem: 9.25 in

                                      I'm concerned about the stretch in the waist with the 21 ounce after reading through all the posts on here. I know I'm overthinking this and it's ultimately me who has to pull the trigger.

                                        If the waist on those pairs fit you right I’d say you should be looking at a pair of 555’s or 301’s that start around 38-39” irl.

                                        If you can manage the thighs on both and prefer a tapered fit, then it comes down to the rise. The 555 have a higher than average rise without it being a truly high rise like the 888 or 1955 cuts. The 301’s lower than average. If you have a long torso then the lower rise of the 301 will accentuate that, the higher rise of the 555 will offset the impression. Go with whichever of those you prefer, maybe?

                                        If you want a true mid rise, slim fit then the 666’s are a great option. They look brilliant on tall guys with a long inseam, but some find the hem a little wide for their tastes.

                                        Another important bit of info, don’t compare IHUK’s measurements with SE’s they use different systems of measuring.

                                          Thanks again for the knowledge. I think it would be best to wait until they’re restocked in a smaller size since both the 21 oz 555 and 301 cuts in size 38 have a 40 inch waist. I don’t want to get a pair that will stretch out to the point of not staying on.
